The House of the Black Madonna

Celetná 34Prague 1

Built as a department store between 1911 and 1912 by Josef Gocár, the House of the Black Madonna is one of the finest Cubist buildings in Europe, housing a permanent exhibition of Czech Cubism of the period 1911 to 1919, as well as Czech and international art from the first half of the twentieth century.

Individual exhibits are changed on a regular basis and feature a wide range of artistic disciplines that give visitors an idea of the remarkable variety and extent of the Cubist school, which in Bohemia (and especially in Prague) became part of everyday life.
